When I kissed a girl, nobody was around. So I didn't do it for anybody. I'm not a lesbian. I encourage anybody to try anything, just make sure you have integrity and character. It doesn't matter who anyone loves. I am for gay rights and I also have a boyfriend.

I love the Seahawks because of Russell [Wilson] and I think that I'm going to probably go for them!

Speaking in tongues is as normal to me as 'Pass the salt' It's a secret, direct prayer language to God.

People don't want just vanilla. They want 31 flavors. I couldn't do what Rihanna does. I couldn't do what Gaga does. They can't do what I do.

You can get through it and you can land on your feet triumphantly and strong.

I still want to be as approachable and relatable as possible - when I meet fans and they're crying, I'll say, 'Calm down, there's nothing to cry about.'

Sometimes if you want to achieve something great, there will be curveballs. You just have to dodge them every once in a while.
